>Peter, Yes, thank you, I do have that already. Beulah was my great grandfather's second wife. I didn't want to add too much info to the vetting post, as to confuse others about family tree extensions. As far as Arthur goes, he kept a diary, he thought highly of himself. He was my great grandfather's oldest son, my grandfather, Robert Seth Kincade, was the baby of the family with John's first wife Flora A. Dilley. There is a lot of information on Arthur W. Kincade at Wichita State University's Special Collections Dept. of their Library. I need to go there, and go through all the boxes of his personal letters, correspondence, and bank notes that he left for the University. WSU also owns his residence, which was built by Frank Lloyd Wright. I mentioned the book on A.W. Kincade in my vetting post down at the bottom as an additional resource. There wasn't anything in the book that I didn't already know, but at least it is in print for others to see. What I did learn out of the book, was Arthur's grand children's names, and I have been in touch with them. They don't know where the family tree is, but did hear the same story I did about Arthur hiring a researcher. It's a shame, no one knows where that tree is. My father said, that Arthur told him "to deal with the future and not to worry about the past, that it wasn't good to dwell on things you couldn't fix". To me, it sounds like there was something there he didn't want the rest of the family to find out about. But it sure has my curiosity at an all time high!
